Inspiring community conversations for sustainable change

The Fresh Outlook Foundation (FOF) is a registered charity that envisions a future where people of all ages and from all sectors collaborate to make our communities healthier, happier, and more prosperous. This is possible only when people talk with one another about important community issues, challenges, and opportunities. To that end, FOF’s passion is “inspiring community conversations for sustainable change.” We provide opportunities for those conversations to unfold at events such as the Building SustainABLE Communities conference, Reel Change SustainAbility Film Fest, Eco-Blast Kids Camp & Concert, Breakfast of Champions, Women 4 SustainAbility, and Fresh Dialogues.
